Caption

A monument to the memory of Edith and Joseph de Bons on the shores of Lake Geneva at Geneva, Switzerland, was dedicated on November 15, 1959. Mrs. de Bons was the first Bahá’í to accept the Faith in Paris, in 1900. Mr. and Mrs. de Bons visited 'Abdu'l-Baha in 'Akka and Alexandria, and received from Him many Tablets, which are now in the International Archives in Haifa. The monument is a great block of silver granite surmounted by a bronze eagle. Beneath the eagle is a roll engraved with the words of Bahá’u’lláh: "Verily we are from God, and to Him we shall return."
